SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate, or install the
product.
• NOTE: Pumps with the "UL" Mark and pumps with the "US" mark are tested to UL Standard
UL778. CSA certified pumps are certified to CSA Standard C22.2 No. 108. (CUS.)
DANGER
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
Always disconnect power source before performing any work on or near the motor or its connected
load. If the power disconnect point is out-of-sight, lock it in the open position and tag it to prevent
unexpected application of power. Failure to do so could result in fatal electrical shock.
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
Do not handle the pump with wet hands or when standing in water as fatal electrical shock could
occur. Disconnect main power before handling unit for ANY REASON!
• RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
These pumps have not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas.
WARNING
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, install only a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interruptor
(GFCI). Make certain that the ground fault receptacle is within the reach of the pump's power supply
cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
Do not kink power cable, and never allow the cable to come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces,
chemicals, or sharp objects. Replace damaged or worn wiring cord immediately.
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
As a safety measure, each electrical outlet should be checked for ground using an Underwriters
Laboratory Listed circuit analyzer, which will indicate if the power, neutral, and ground wires are
correctly connected to your outlet. If they are not, contact a licensed electrician.
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
These pumps are supplied with a 3-prong grounded plug to help protect you against the possibility of
electrical shock. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND PIN.
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, install only a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interruptor
(GFCI).
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or circuit breakers of proper
capacity. A separate branch circuit is recommended, sized according the National Electrical Code
for the current shown on the pump name plate.
• CHEMICAL ALERT.
This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
